I've been playing with JuiceFS the last weekend and it's pretty slick. Basically it allows you to turn a cloud object store (like S3) into a proper POSIX filesystem (that you can mount locally).
What's actually quite interesting is that there is no server "in the middle", but instead all the logic is implemented in the client (that performs the mounting).
And the even have a Kubernetes CSI driver, which makes it very smooth for using with containers.

@jgillich I'm pretty sure you *could*, but also pretty sure you would *not want* to. However I think it's a great use case for "legacy" apps that can't natively use S3/B2/whatever storage and really on a local filesystem.
@jgillich JuiceFS automatically splits files into small chunks, so you could probably even run VMs on top of it :D
